If queues associated with different actuators are merged, then control is lost on each actuator. Therefore some actuator may be underutilized, and throughput may decrease. This problem cannot occur with basic queue merging, because the latter is triggered by spatial locality, and sectors for different actuators are not close to each other. Yet it may happen with stable merging. To address this issue, this commit prevents stable merging from occurring among queues associated with different actuators.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
